How to do websphere 7 deployment automation using maven?
Hi all
Our Maven scripts are currently written to compile/package & deploy in tomcat6 (development) server. This helped us in automating the build-deploy process.
Moving forward, we want to do automated deployments into WAS7 (Websphere 7) server using MAVEN scripts. Few articles which i read talks about invoking ANT Tasks that could perform deployment to websphere.
Could anybody share maven scripts/tags for the same ?

I don't know if that works for WAS 7, but IBM provide support for WAS 6 and Maven integration :

- Maven Integration for RAD7.5 along with automatic Websphere compatible EAR creation

A (famous) French IT consulting company list compatibilities with the well known Cargo plugin, that allow remote control on servers : http://blog.xebia.fr/2008/11/05/lintegration-continue-avec-cargo/. But as you can see (even you don't understand french ;D), Websphere is not yes well supported.
It won't probably help you, but the main idea is Maven and WAS 7 integration will probably more painful for you that other servers ;)
